Overview
Katydids are members of the grasshopper family and can be distinguished by their long "horns," bright green color, and the male's loud, shrill call which sounds like "Katy did" and thus has earned them their onomatopoeic name. They do not pose any particular problem for the home gardener but do lightly feed on shrub and tree foliage.
